93622 (LV Pacing) billed with 93656(PVI)
Date: Dec 14, 2018
Question:
Can you please advise as to billing 93622 (LV pacing) in conjunction with 93656 (PVI)? Although allowable, what documentation criteria is required? Physician dictation states: "The ablation catheter was then advanced across the septum into the LA. This was advanced into the left ventricle where LV pacing was performed and confirmed safe transseptal access with RBBB morphology on 12 lead." 93622-74, as only LV pacing was performed?
